Gum disease is a result of bacteria that builds up between teeth and gums. The first stage of this disease is gingivitis. At this stage gum disease symptoms include bleeding and inflamed gums. The second stage is full blown gum disease or periodontal disease. At this stage symptoms include gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, tooth abscesses, and tooth loss.
